The Whole Gluten Free Story

Why is Gluten-Free becoming so popular?

Wondering why everyone's talking about living gluten-free? It is likely because they have heard of how great their friends and family have felt when they took the plunge and got it out of their lives for a while. Celiac disease and gluten-sensitivities are definitely on the rise. In fact, gluten intolerances have increased 4 times since the 1950's!

For many people, eliminating gluten from the diet can help heal the body by lowering inflammation, healing the intestines, and allowing for proper nutrient absorption. Gluten is everywhere in our food supply, and only by removing it 100% from the diet do we begin to heal from its adverse effects.

It is easy to get on the gluten-free bandwagon and begin relying on processed gluten-free versions of old favorites, but this isn’t what will bring about healing and long-term health, and can often perpetuate the cycle of being malnourished. It is important to work toward a diet that is full of healing whole foods.
